A gift at anytime in the form of cash, cheque, e-transfer or an online donation. - *By Will
A bequest may be for a specific amount or for the residue of an estate or any portion thereof. - *Life Insurance
Insurance can be an ideal way to create a major gift at a relatively low cost to the donor. - *Memorial Gift
Make a memorial gift to perpetuate the name of a friend or relative. - *Gift of Shares/Bonds

A business may find it advantageous to use the Brokenhead River Community Foundation as a vehicle for its charitable purposes by establishing its own ‘named’ fund.
* Before making such a donation, it is advisable to seek professional financial advice to ensure that you or your estate receives the maximum tax benefits.
